The sovero weather which we bave
experienced during February, and
which has extended far down into

that the earliest crops of green vegeta
bles will sell at good prices, both in
home markets aud in the large cities
North. The opportunity presented to
our Southern truckers and gardeners
to ni|;!:j money out of peas and other
early truck, crops is one that they
Bhould not fail to take the advantage
of. Early peas ara one of the first
